PLASTERERS HAWK.

Application filed December 16, 1924. Serial No. 756,241.

The leading object of the present invention is to provide a novel form of plasterers hawk in which the componentparts constitute a pair of separable units'capable of ready detachment. i

fr further object resides in the provision of simple, eflicient, and comparatively inexpensive parts for attaining the results sought by the leading object.

The invention consists of the novel con" struction hereinafter described and finally claimed.

The nature, characteristic features and scope of the invention will be more fully understood from the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings forming part hereof, and in which:

Fig. 1, is a view in cross section illustinting the pl'asterers hawk of the present invention in assembled position.

Fig. 2, is a top or plan view of the plate supporting member shown in Fig. 1.

Fig. 3, is a view in section taken upon the. line of Fig. 2.

F 11, is an edge view of the plate supporting member as viewed fro-m the left hand side of Fig. 3.

Fig. 5, is a view in perspective of the bolt shown in Fig. 1.

Fig. ('5, is a view similar to Fig. 1 showing a modified form of the invention.

Fig. 7, is a top or plan view of the plate A )orting member shown in Fig. 6 in de uuCllQCl. relation.

Fig. 8, is a view in section taken upon the line 88 of Fig. 7. and

V Fig. 9, is a perspective view of'the bolt shown in Fig. 6.

For the purpose of illustratingniy invention I have shown in the accompanying drawings several forms thereof which are at present preferred by me, since the same have been found in practice to give satisfactory and reliable results, although it is to be unod that the various instrumentalities i which my invention consists can be vari- 1y arranged and organized and that my imcnt-ion is not limited to the precise arrangement and organization of the instrumentalities as herein shown and described.

Referring to the drawings in detail, the reference numeral 1 designates a plate supiorting member having a central depending socket This socket is interiorly shaped to prevent bolt head rotation as will be hereinafter more particularly pointed out.

Qoncentrically arranged with respect to socket 2 is an annular resisting portion 3. The bottom wall of socket 2 is provided with a rectangular shaped slot 4; which is in communication with the rectangular slot 5 in the socket side wall. (3 designates a handle having a bolt receiving aperture disposed vertically therethrough as indicated at The top of the handle is cupped out as 8, to engage around the socket 2 in assembled position of the parts and the lower ent of the handle is provided with a substantially squared interior portion 9, the parts 8 and 9 being in communication with passage 7. Arranged within passage 7 is a bolt 10 the lower end of which is screw threaded to receive-a nut 11 and the upper part of which bolt is provided with a rectangular head 1.2. The nut'll upon the screw threaded end of bolt 10 is arranged Within the opening 9 and is held against rotation with-- in said opening.- To assemble the parts the head 12 as carried by handle 6 is moved laterally through slots 5 of socket 2 so that the bolt 10 passes into slot 4. of the socket. The handle 6 is then rotated in the proper direction so as to abut against the end side of member 1 in which position the cupped out portion of the handle engages around socket 2. This position of parts is clearly shown in Fig. 1. During this movement of the handle the head 12 and nut 11 have been retained in fixed position. The member 1 carries and has riveted thereto a body portion 13 to receive plaster.

Referring. now to the modified form shown in Figs. 6 to 9 inclusive the socket 2 of member 1 diil'ers slightly from the construction shown in the foregoing figures. The socket 2 is provided with a central. elongated slot 1% for the passage therethrough of the elongated head 15 of the bolt 10. With the head 15 introduced through 1 slot l t the bolt is moved about its vertical axis until the head 15 is disposed at right angles to slot 14-. In this position of parts the head 15 engages within the grooves 16 of the socket. By this arrangement of parts the had 15 is held against rotation during movement of handle 6.

It will now be apparent that l have devised a novel and useful construction of plasterers hawk, which embodies thefeatures of advantage enumerated as desirable in the statement of the invention and the above description, and while I have, in the present instance, shown and described pre:

ferred embodiment thereof which Will give in practice satisfactory and reliable results, it is to be understood that 'thesa'ine are sus ceptible of modification in various particulars Without departing from the spit-it or scope of the invention or sacrificing any of its advantages. v

Having thus described my invention, What I claim as new and desire to secure by Lette rs Patent, is v An article of the character stated comprising a plate supporting member having a flanged and centrally recessed portion, a

bolt receivingfop'eiring there-through, the top of said handle being cupped out to engage antenna said socket and the bottom of said handle having a substantially squared inner part and a threaded bolt including a nut, said bolt having a head insertable laterally through said slotted parts and held against rotation and the said nut seating in the squared opening of the handle and held against rotation.
